SOSP Spot

Song Sparrow Melospiza melodia

Workings of a Pileated Woodpecker

Old moon in the new moon’s arms, from last week

  Went birding, and it’s super quiet still, bird-wise, in a landscape re-covered by a late snow. I like snow.

  New in were two Song Sparrows, skulking in dense undergrowth, as SOSPs do so well. One was silent, and the other was making ‘chimp’ calls.

  Last night’s frosty final gasp of winter must have confused early migrants seen recently in the Montreal area, such as American Woodcock and even Chimney Swift.
